Chapter 118 She was celebrating Meng Qiming’s birthday.

After knowing that Meng Qiming was thinking of proposing to her, Shen Zhiyi decided to find an opportunity to have a good talk with Meng Qiming. She really had no feelings for Meng Qiming at all. Since he was aiming for marriage, he should not waste his time on her.

So after the filming, she called Meng Qiming and wanted to have a chat with him.

"I understand?" Meng Qiming obviously didn't expect that she would take the initiative to call him, and was a little surprised. "Is there something you want to talk to me about?"

If you need his help, he will be happy to help.

"I have something to tell you." Shen Zhiyi checked the time and it was not too late. "Can we meet and talk now?"

Meng Qiming is a pretty nice person and treats her very well. Shen Zhiyi is willing to respect him, so she chooses to talk in person.

"Now?" Meng Qiming hesitated a little. "I'm sorry, Zhiyi, I can't spare the time today. How about tomorrow night? I'll send you the meeting address then."

"Okay." Shen Zhiyi agreed.

The next day, she deliberately cleared her evening time and asked for leave from Director Meng.

When asking for leave, Director Meng asked casually, "Do you have an appointment tonight?"

He is Meng Qiming's father, but he rarely mentions this son. Shen Zhiyi is not too defensive towards him. "Yeah."

Director Meng smiled and said, "With my son?"

"I want to meet him," Shen Zhiyi was slightly surprised, "Did he tell you?"

"I can guess it without you telling me. Today," Director Meng waved his hand, "Go ahead. You don't have to come so early tomorrow. It's okay to play a little longer in the evening."

I received a call from Pei Yu when I was leaving the crew in a car.

"Have you had dinner?" Pei Yu made a few random marks on the menu and handed it to Qin Fang who was sitting opposite him. He asked in a friendly and natural manner, causing Qin Fang to look over at him frequently.

"Not yet," Shen Zhiyi planned to find a place to eat after meeting Meng Qiming. It would only be a few words and shouldn't take much time.

"Should I order takeout for you?"

"Need not."

Shen Zhiyi: "I'm not on the set right now."

Pei Yu raised his eyes when the appetizer salad was served. "You got off work so early today. Did you go home? Can I go see you?"

Qin Fang had just picked up the cutlery and looked incredulous when he heard what he said.

No way, Pei Ge'er wants to leave him here and go find Shen Zhiyi?
"Don't," Shen Zhiyi refused, "Don't come."

Being rejected by her, Pei Yu's eyes dimmed, and he was silent for a while before continuing, "Did what I said last time... scare you? Sorry, you can pretend I never said it."

He regretted it that very day. He woke up from a dream at night in which he dreamed that she had rejected him mercilessly and had completely drawn a line between them. Pei Yu was heartbroken for a long time. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that he was too impulsive at that time.

When he never said that? Shen Zhiyi didn't realize that she frowned slightly when she heard this. She didn't respond to Pei Yu's words, but said, "I'm not home now."

"Well," Pei Yu did not dwell on the previous topic, "Have you gone to do other things?"

Another call came in, and Shen Zhiyi said casually, "Something happened."

She said, "I'm hanging up now."

Pei Yu looked at the call interface that had been hung up and sent a message to Secretary Qin, asking him about Shen Zhiyi's schedule for today.

Soon she received a reply that she had no other activities today except filming. "Brother Pei," Qin Fang was completely ignored and tried to make himself feel important, "You are chasing me too closely."

In fact, he wanted to say that he felt Pei Yu was quite clingy, but he didn't dare to use this word to describe it.

Pei Yu ignored his words and called Director Meng.

He didn't bother to talk nonsense and asked, "She's not on the set?"

"He's not here," Director Meng was focusing on the play, multitasking, "He asked for leave from me."

Ask for leave?

Pei Yu frowned, "What did she do?"

"On a date," Director Meng stared at the monitor and suddenly realized that the person he was talking to was Pei Yu. He said with a bit of pride, "So you didn't know that today is my son's birthday. Of course, she went on a date with my son."

Hey, this time he is going to lose to his son.

Pei Yu hung up the phone without saying a word.

Qin Fang swallowed the food and watched Pei Yu suddenly order a few bottles of wine. He was suddenly at a loss and slowly put down his knife and fork.

This... Never mind, let him drink with us.

Shen Zhiyi arrived at the address Meng Qiming gave her. Someone led her directly to the top floor. As soon as the door of the box was opened, she could hear the sound of chatting and laughing. It was clearly a party.

Thinking he had come to the wrong place, he was about to leave when Meng Qiming came out, "Zhi Yi!"

Today was a private party, he was dressed casually, acted even more casually, and greeted with a smile, "You're here."

Shen Zhiyi asked him out to talk about personal matters. She thought it would just be a meeting between the two of them, but she didn't expect him to invite her to the party. "Mr. Meng, can we talk somewhere else?"

"Of course," Meng Qiming pointed in a direction, "Then let's go to the room inside and talk."

But the two of them had only walked a few steps when suddenly several men hugged Meng Qiming. It was obvious that they had a very good relationship with him. The man closest to him had semi-long hair and looked very artistic.

"Qiming, where are you going? Today is your birthday, and we brothers took time out to celebrate with you. How could you leave us behind?"

The words were said to Meng Qiming, but his eyes were looking at Shen Zhiyi. The man said with understanding, "Oh, you can't wait to meet the beauty, right?"

Because of their good relationship, such teasing is acceptable. Meng Qiming said helplessly, "Don't talk nonsense. Zhiyi is my friend. She wants to talk to me about something."

"Can't we talk about it later?" The man smiled and invited, "Miss Shen, are you coming to celebrate Qiming's birthday? It's perfect, let's have fun together."

Shen Zhiyi learned from his words that today was Meng Qiming's birthday, and this was obviously a party for him and his private friends. She knew nothing about it when she came and didn't even prepare a gift.

Meng Qiming looked over with anticipation, "Zhiyi, can you stay for a while?"

This was someone's birthday celebration, and it would be embarrassing to come here empty-handed. Several people urged her together, so Shen Zhiyi had to sit down. She couldn't refute Meng Qiming in public.

Putting aside their personal relationship, he is still the president of CN and has a cooperative relationship with her, so he should be respectful and polite.

But in this case, it would be inappropriate to talk about private matters with Meng Qiming. Shen Zhiyi thought about sitting for a while, finding an opportunity to leave, and then making an appointment to talk to him another day.

"I understand," Meng Qiming was slightly tipsy after being persuaded by his friends to drink a few glasses of wine, "I'm sorry to waste your time."

He admitted frankly, "I have wanted to invite you to celebrate my birthday for a long time, but I guessed that you would refuse, so I didn't tell you in advance this time. Sorry."

"Mr. Meng," Shen Zhiyi didn't want to talk to him today, but since he had brought it up, she didn't want to drag it on any longer, "Don't waste your time on me anymore."
